Complete

The Municipality of Vejle launched a "Repair Café" scheme to reduce unnecessary waste by helping residents repair their defective items.

In addition to the free repair service, residents have the opportunity to learn how to repair items themselves.

Repair Cafe Vejle bliver permanent - Vejle Kommune

Vejle Kommune inviterede til "Repair Cafe" to gange i januar og gør nu ordningen permanent. Det betyder, at Vejle-borgere også fremover kan lære at få fixet defekte dimser. Cafeen har åben den sidste tirsdag hver måned - næste gang er den 25. februar fra kl. 19-21.
